Silverlight Maze

This requires Silverlight 1.1 Alpha, available here. If you only have Silverlight 1.0 installed, you'll get a wacky error message (AG_E_RUNTIME_MANAGED_ACTIVATION).

Click on the maze to start, then drive the blue dot to the pink dot.Use the arrow keys to move, or the following if you'd prefer:

UP: W or 8
LEFT: A or 4
DOWN: S or 2
RIGHT: D or 6

Each time you solve a maze, you get a harder one, until they're so microscopic you run out of pixels.

Hey, John, is this in popfly by chance?  I wish I could see it.  Today the screen is blank where the maze should be.

No, it's not in PopFly, it's hosted with Silverlight Streaming at silverlight.live.com.

It's working on all the computers I've tested on. Do you have Silverlight 1.1 Alpha installed?

Yep, we love Zero Gravity. Do you know if it's original music, or a sample? My daughter loves it. Sounds like an old Squarepusher track to me.

Both games are very cool is there a directory of silverlight enabled content somewhere?

Dear Jon,
